I've seen so many topics on the SL/T here over the years I've lost count.

I put a turbo on the wife's LX SS Hatch with a 202 back in 79, went like the clappers and was great for towing the ski boat.

biggest problem was getting clutch right

UC or not...they appeal to me those things

I was just thinkin this arvo how would an EFI VK 3.3 go turbo'ed?

Surely it wouldn't be to hard to beat a standard A9X

I was thinking the same thing!

Strange that they don't do them to fit Toranas? I would think that there is more tough 6 Toranas than Commodores or Kingswoods together. Tough red 6's don't look right in full size Holden's to me.

EFI manifold doesn't fit under the bonnet is probably the reason. I can understand why you wouldn't put one in a Kingswood (or any other Holden/Statesman) as a good SBC is probably far better and easier, but in the far smaller Commodore it'd be pretty cool thing and might be cost effective compared to stroking and working a 308.

GMH did a pair of those in HX, a coupe and a sedan. At least the sedan had a turbo on it, have never seen much about the coupe (which I think was a re-use of the Tuxedo black HX coupe done for a GMH milestone).

 

Imagine again. A silver mink with red trim HK GTS, optioned with an M21 (heavy duty) 4spd, and dealer fitted with a Salisbury 3.36 LSD rear axle (not optional behind a 6cyl in HK). Fitted with one of these turbo kits. The 186S with turbo would probably have gone better than a pollution 202! Would give most HK-HG a run for their money.

A good education didn't do him no harm.

I tried to fit a VK EFI engine into my LX years ago and the bonnet wouldn't close, UC might have a bit more room.
